MASTER STUDENTS AT THE ERNEST BAI KOROMA UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY ARE EXPELED FOR HOLDING A REQUIREMENT TO ENTER THE COURSE WITH FROM A FAKE UNIVERSITY, AGU.

Professor Dr Edwin Momoh, the EBKUST's vice Chancellor and principal, has removed acceptance letters from students who applied for a Masters degree at the EBKUST using certificates from the African Graduates University, which has been ruled a Fake academic institution. 

As a form of punishment, the students will forfeit all fees already paid for knowingly using a fake degree to gain access to the EBKUST.


Dr. John Idriss Lahai, a well-known fake degree whistle-blower, discovered the students involved in the aforementioned saga. Even while I don't agree with all of his techniques for exposing these undeserved certifications, particularly when he tries to link the fake degree issue to the current administration, which may make it appear like everyone or a majority of individuals working for the New Direction have phony degrees. But his efforts are commendable if they are motivated by selflessness.
The following is a message he posted on his Facebook page urging EBKUST's principal to revoke the three defaulters' admittance letters.

"To the Ernest BaI Koroma University of Science and Technology (EBKUST) administration. 

For God’s sake, terminate the enrolment of the three masters students with AGU qualifications. They are still attending classes (as of yesterday) even after the TEC informed you that all degrees from the AGU are fake and should not be used in Sierra Leone! 
It is no secret that the corruption within your University Registrar’s office is entrenched! You guys are not helping our country. You make me wanna throw up 🤮 
You have until Sunday (less than 3 days) to comply. Failure to do that, I will not only call out the names of these students on Monday, I will also expose the names of the top Government Officials who bribed to get them admitted. And the people within your university who acted as middlemen. 

No second option! We will (and must) develop our country - using highly skilled and adequately trained people. Enough of the failures; enough with the trends of underdevelopment. We have what it takes to beat Ghana and Nigeria in the race to become a high income country in West Africa! To do that, we must put an end to fake degrees, and the institutions of government cushioning the activities of fake degree granting institutions must be named and shamed. We must remove all fake degree holders - replace them with with people with legitimate, genuine and hard earned qualifications. Let us make it impossible for fake degree holders to access our labour market and workforce!! 

Withdraw their acceptance now!!!

EU Budget Support Delay: Government Rejects Link to Judicial Case, Clarifies Reason for 2026 Disbursement Shift

Government Clarifies EU Budget Support Disbursement to Sierra Leone Note: According to the Information and Civic Education Minister.  The Government of Sierra Leone has clarified reports linking the European Union’s 2026 budget-support disbursement to ongoing discussions between Sierra Leone and the Kingdom of the Netherlands on judicial cooperation. According to the Government, the European Commission formally communicated its decision regarding the 2026 disbursement in July. The reasons provided, the Government said, related to the timing of Sierra Leone’s request to amend the Financing Agreement and the resulting difficulty of completing the required processes within the 2026 reporting cycle. As a result, the European Commission proposed rescheduling the 2026 and 2027 disbursements to 2027 and 2028 respectively, with the targets for the 2027 disbursement already agreed. The Government acknowledged that the postponement of the 2026 disbursement represents a setback, b...

Musa Tarawalie and the SLPP: What Could Be Behind the Growing Political Tensions?

Why Musa Tarawalie May Be Facing Friction Within the SLPP Opinion Note: This article represents my personal opinion and interpretation of recent political developments. It should not be taken as established fact or as a definitive account of the reasons behind the situation involving Hon. Musa Tarawalie and the Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP). The question of why Hon. Musa Tarawalie appears to be facing difficulties within the Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP) requires an understanding of the broader political calculations ahead of the 2028 general elections. In my view, the SLPP is determined to retain political power in 2028, and there have been indications of deliberate strategies aimed at achieving that objective through democratic and relatively smooth political processes. One of the arguments supporting this view is President Julius Maada Bio’s public assertion that, in Sierra Leone’s democratic political history, no political party has successfully won three...
